sent an email your way

Please remember to put your best foot forward, while you may be more than capable of doing the job if I cant judge from your previous work that you are capable of the quality needed then unfortunately you may be overlooked. Thus far most have sent in quality applications, while others simply do not show or outline the work that they are most proud/happy of.

So please be sure to send on links to your best work. Or at least let me know you have work and we can arrange to view that.

im confused. Your website shows a HL2 mod, yet you only require artists who know Max or Maya when HL2 was made in XSI.

Did you recently switch over to the Reality Engine

ElysiumGX · Jan 2006

And if you're switching to the Reality Engine, does that mean you'll be using the Unreal Engine 3?

RonanHayes · Jan 2006

Right, we've been using the Reality Engine for nearly a year now, building onto it adding features etc. We managed to get our licence prior to any going on's with Epic.

No we will not be using Unreal3, that said I believe there is an upgrade deal for RE developers to move to U3.

The HL2 and BF2 mods are merely for publicity, indie games usually dont get the press or traffic that they deserve. While even the most half wit mod with a few weapon renders could see huge traffic. So we opted to create 2 quick mods for both, pull in the traffic and its worked a charm so far. Since most people hang around the forums, and ask a few questions they realise how good the full game is shaping up to be.

Again we are indie, everything that is paid comes from my pocket. While I am happy to pay out what I can, I do have limits since I am currently getting the Characters and Animations outsourced as well. So please bear this in mind.

I must also urge you to please send on links to your best work. (And make sure your site works)

Yeah, if you we're already a RE licensee you could have gotten a discounted price on UE3, but chances are most developers that are using RE couldnt really even think about affording UE3 even at the reduced price(talking about a 10 fold difference in most cases iirc).
